   Avoid injury from entanglement in moving rolls. Disengage the PTO, shut off the tractor engine, and disconnect monitor-controller power plug from the tractor convenience outlet before servicing.

   Use the recommended approved net wrap material available from your John Deere dealer.

   Edge-to-edge net wrap material is available, but requires spacer plugs in the ends of the roll and adjustments to the attachment. (See Adjust Net Wrap Stretch in the Service—Net Wrap section.)

   The net wrap roll must be installed with the two large stripes on the right-hand side of the machine.

   Swing the lower tension arm out and place the net wrap roll (A) at the loading position.

3. Place the free end of the net wrap material (B) from the top of the roll between the net frame cross-member and the rubber feed roller (C). Ensure that the material wraps over the rear of the feed roller.

4. Lift the lower tension arm, placing the roll of net in the operating position.

6. Thread the net wrap material between the feed rollers as follows:

   1. Gather the loose ends of the net wrap (B). Twist the material and make a loop.

   2. Thread the loop of material between the rubber feed roller (C) and the steel roller (D).

   3. Do not extend the net wrap material more than 25 mm (1 in) beyond the rollers. Additional material can wrap around the rollers.

      Engage and disengage the brake lever (A) three or four times, as necessary, to advance the material through the feed rollers. Ensure that the net wrap material extension (E) is not more than 13—25 mm (0.5—1.0 in) beyond the rollers.

8. Avoid knife contact with the rubber roll. Any knife cuts in the rubber roll covering can result in more frequent wrapping of net material around the rolls and can require roll replacement.

   Cut off any excess material.

9. Close the net wrap cover.

10. To avoid net wrapping on the rubber roller, release the net wrap feed roller brake and reset the brake before using the baler at the beginning of each day.

11. Adjust net wrap feed roll brake tension. (See Check and Adjust Net Wrap Feed Roll Brake in the Service—Net wrap section.)
